| Utol officers welcome their special guest, Vice Consul Gino Soriano |
Two important milestones were marked by the group Utol Central Chapter when members gathered in Sun Yat Sen Park in Sai Ying Pun on Sept. 15 .
The first occasion was their 11th
founding anniversary as a chapter, while
the second was the 35th year since the main group, Utol Hong Kong,
was founded.
Guest speaker at the event was Vice Consul George
Mariano "Gino" A. Soriano, who called on the rare, all-male organization in Hong Kong to keep united and focused on their goals.

Leading the welcome for their special guest was Utol Central’s president George B. Jose and vice-president Nelson Rivera, with senior adviser Butch Vercelles.
Group member James Lacsamana said the group plans to
focus on sports for their activities this year, specifically basketball and
volleyball.
Knowing that most migrant domestic workers are
women who tend to hang out in just one place to talk, the Utol
Central boys are thinking of approaching them at their favourite “tambayan” and
convince them to try playing volleyball.

“Hihikayatin naming sila na maglaro kung saan-saan
sila din sa area na iyon ang mag competition,” said Lacsamana. (We will convince
them to play volleyball, and those who hang out in the same area will be pitted against each other in a
competition).
“Kailangan
lamang na bumuo sila ng 4 na team,
at provided ng Utol ang lahat, mula sa venue at lahat ng logistics na
kailangan.” (All they need to do is form four teams, and Utol will take care of
everything, from the venue to providing logistics).

Lacsamana said this would be the main focus of Utol,
given that an overwhelming majority of Filipino domestic workers here are
women.
